Chapter 40 Chapter 40 I'm so pitiful

Ji Siyun's favorability towards her has stabilized at 98%. The system is extremely anxious seeing Song Youning flirting with Ji Siyun every day instead of doing any real work.

"Host, when did you start the mission? There's only one year left. If you fail, you'll die!"

Song Youning had just woken up from his nap. He stretched his arms lazily, yawned, and answered it nonchalantly.

“I’ve always been on a mission.”

"You're lying, our mission is not to conquer the male protagonist!" The system became angry when it thought about what Song Youning had done to its male protagonist.

"I didn't intend to conquer him." Song Youning slowly lifted the quilt and walked to the French window, pulling open the curtains while speaking casually, "He came to me on his own."

The sky outside the window was gloomy and snowflakes were falling. Song Youning pushed open the glass door and walked to the balcony. The cold wind blew the snow particles, which fell on Song Youning's head and shoulders and were quickly melted by his body temperature.

"It's snowing." She spread out her palms to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, watching the crystal flakes disappear in her hands.

This was the fourth heavy snow she had seen in this world.

After this snow next year, it will be time for her to leave.

The system was also watching the snow: "Yes, the host has been here for more than three years. Do you miss home?"

Her cherry-pink lips curled up in a sarcastic arc. Snowflakes fell softly. Before the snowflakes that landed on Song Youning could melt, new ones fell. She looked at the heavy snow and said calmly and indifferently, "No."

What's so good about that home?

What supported her to go back was her ambition and desire.

"Host, will you miss Ji Siyun when you return?"

The corners of his sneering lips suddenly froze and then slowly straightened. Song Youning wrapped the shawl tightly around him and spoke in a very soft voice.

"Won't."

The naive system does not understand the twists and turns in the human mind. On the one hand, it hopes that Song Youning will complete the task seriously as soon as possible, but on the other hand, it feels sorry for Ji Siyun.

The first time I liked someone, the one I fell in love with was the host, a scumbag.

It asked unwillingly, "Host, do you really not like Ji Siyun at all?"

A thin layer of snow had settled on Song Youning's shoulders, and her clear almond-shaped eyes were looking somewhere unknown. She stood in the cold wind for a long time, so long that the system thought she would not answer it.

In the cold wind, she spoke slowly and firmly.

"No……"

"Miss." The male voice behind her interrupted the answer she was about to say.

Ji Siyun walked quickly to her, brushed off the snowflakes on her body, opened his coat and wrapped her in his arms.

He lowered his head and gently picked off the snowflakes that had fallen on her long hair.

"Why don't you wear something thicker if you want to see the snow?"

Song Youning leaned against his chest. His body temperature was very high and he had a refreshing fragrance. His body, which had lost its temperature due to the cold wind, gained heat and soon warmed up.

She yawned in his arms, naturally put her arms around his waist, and spoke with a bit of a coquettish tone.

"I just woke up and I'm too lazy to get dressed."

His laughter came from above his head, and his chest beside his ears trembled slightly.

"Do you still want to see it?"

The woman in his arms shook her head, and her soft and fragrant body pressed against him for warmth. Satisfaction appeared in Ji Siyun's eyes.

"No more."

She raised her head and saw the young man's smooth jawline and protruding Adam's apple. She raised her hand around his waist and gently pressed on his Adam's apple.

The tips of her slender fingers were cold, and as they rubbed against the sensitive bulge, the numbing sensation made his chest rise and fall.

"Jisyun, kissing in the snow should be romantic, right?"

The Adam's apple under her fingertips rolled violently. Song Youning stepped on his instep barefoot and hugged Ji Siyun's neck with her slender arms. She looked at his expression, put her cheek close to him, and her red lips floated on his cheek, slowly moving away from him.

"Jisyun, do you want to kiss me?"

The hot and humid breath fanned her cheeks, and in response she was suddenly tightened arms around her waist and Ji Siyun's passionate and deep kiss.

The snow fluttered down and the surroundings were silent. At this moment, it seemed that the only people in the world were the two people kissing on the balcony.

After the kiss, they parted reluctantly. Ji Siyun picked up Song Youning with one hand and returned to the room. He gently put her on the bed and then turned back to the balcony to get the shoes she took off.

The young man was wearing a neat black suit with a black wool coat on the outside, a simple white shirt and a crisp tie, which made him look well-dressed and noble.

Ji Siyun is now at the peak of his popularity and has become a rising star in the industry that countless people want to curry favor with. He is no longer the poor student who was struggling to make ends meet.

Such a noble person, yet he held her slippers, knelt on one knee at her feet, and helped her put on her shoes.

Song Youning stretched out her foot towards him, her fair instep straightened, and tilted her head to ask him, "Ji Siyun, you're off work so early today?"

The young man helped her put on her shoes properly, then stood up and took her hand and walked downstairs.

"I'm going on a business trip these few days and I'm back to pack my luggage."

Ji Siyun pulled her downstairs. Aunt Chen and the others were decorating the fir tree they had just bought. When Song Youning saw the colorful decorations in the living room, she realized that the day after tomorrow was Christmas.

Ji Siyun's assistant was waiting at the door with a suitcase. When he saw the two of them coming out, he looked at Ji Siyun with some anxiety, but he didn't dare to urge him, so he could only remind him gently.

"Mr. Ji, the snow is falling heavily. It might be difficult to walk on the road later."

Ji Siyun nodded coldly, and when he turned to face Song Youning, his tone instantly became gentle.

"Miss, I'm not home these few days, so you have to behave yourself and don't run around."

He gently tucked her loose hair behind her ear and reminded her, "It's been cold these past few days. Don't open the window when you sleep at night. It's easy to catch a cold."

"Remember to eat breakfast and don't stay in bed. If you feel cold and don't want to move, you can ask Aunt Chen and the others to bring it to you..."

The clingy puppy Ji is going on a business trip! She can have some peace and quiet for a few days!

Song Youning was secretly delighted in her heart, but pretended to be unhappy on her face. She shook off the big hand that was holding hers and stared at him with a frown.

"Jisiyun! This isn't fair. You didn't let me go out to play, and now you're leaving me home alone."

Song Youning raised his chin high, turned his face away and didn't look at him, folded his hands in front of his chest, looking angry.

Ji Siyun originally thought that she would be happy to know that he was going to be away for a few days, but he didn't expect her reaction to be like this. He felt surprised and sweet in his heart, but seeing her sulking, his chest felt sore and swollen.

The young man hurriedly hugged the woman who pretended to be angry, and explained to her with his voice trembling due to the sudden surprise.

"I'm not going there to play, I'm going there to work."

"So what?" Her voice came from his arms.

Ji Siyun opened his mouth, wanting to say something different. He didn't want to be separated from the eldest lady for a moment, but this job was very important and he had to be there in person. He had to work hard to let the eldest lady live a carefree life.

His eldest deserved the best in the world.

Before Ji Siyun could speak, the woman in his chest spoke softly and resentfully, "Ji Siyun, tomorrow night is Christmas Eve."

All the words turned into boiling water and poured into his chest, burning his heart and making it painful and soft.

Song Youning complained softly in his arms.

"Mom and Dad went abroad for the holidays a few days ago. You said you were on a business trip and left me alone at home."

"Everyone else has company on Christmas Eve, but I'm all alone."

"Ji Siyun, I'm so pitiful."

Her voice was soft, but it seemed to hit Ji Siyun's heart hard. The young man's eyes showed reluctance and heartache. He even wanted to say that he would not go and would stay at home with her.

The assistant who was waiting on the side was almost going crazy as he looked at the time.

If his gaze could materialize, he would have stared holes into Ji Siyun's back.

Ji Siyun was thinking that it didn't matter if he canceled the cooperation there. It was just a small loss, which was nothing compared to the importance of the eldest lady.

Because of his obsessive possessiveness of her, she couldn't travel happily and could only stay in the Song family's small house every day.

Pain and confusion appeared in Ji Siyun's dark eyes. He didn't want to make her unhappy, but he couldn't bear to let her go.

He was such a dark-minded person. Even though he knew that she was an eagle soaring in the sky, he still wanted to selfishly keep her in this small world.

It would be too late if they didn't set off now. The assistant gritted his teeth, cleared his throat, and looked away, not daring to face the boss's expression later.

"Um...Mr. Ji, I really have to go."

Ji Siyun was about to say that he would not go, but the woman in his arms suddenly pushed him away and shouted at him, "Let's go!"

"I can do it on my own. I don't need anyone to accompany me."

The young man showed an indulgent smile on his face. He took her hand again and said, "Miss, do you really not want me to accompany you?"

"As long as you say you want me to stay, I won't leave."

How can that be?

She is just acting out of a desire to act, Ji Siyun, please don't take it seriously.

Song Youning raised his head proudly with an arrogant attitude.

"Am I the kind of person who can't prioritize?"

She grabbed Ji Siyun's arm and made him turn around, then put her delicate hands on his back and pushed him towards the door.

"Okay, didn't you hear that if you don't leave now it will be too late? Let's go, work is important."

Ji Siyun was pushed out by her. When he heard her words, he turned around, held her shoulders with his big hands, bent down, and said to Song Youning seriously: "You are the most important."

"To me, you are the most important."

Song Youning was so surprised by the sincerity in his eyes that her mouth opened slightly. For some reason, the corners of her mouth wanted to rise uncontrollably. She pursed her lips and tightened her face, deliberately pretending to be impatient.

"Okay, okay, I get it, let's go."

After finally seeing off the clingy President Ji, until his taillights disappeared in the snow, Song Youning turned around briskly and faced Aunt Chen and the others who had watched the entire process and were smiling at her like an auntie.

"Oh, Master Ji is too clingy to the eldest lady."

"Why are you still calling me Master Ji? I think it won't be long before you start calling me Uncle."

Their teasing words were not malicious, but just a good-natured joke from the elders to the younger ones. Song Youning covered his forehead with his hands, said only "Stop shouting" and went upstairs.

I thought that when Ji Siyun was not at home, I could do whatever I wanted freely, but in fact, Song Youning seemed to have nothing to do.

At night, without Ji Siyun's interruption, Song Youning was actually a little uncomfortable.

She would have fallen asleep by this time in the past, but tonight she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She reached for her phone, opened it, and clicked on the dialog box that she had set to Do Not Disturb. From top to bottom, it was all Ji Siyun talking to himself.

"I got off the plane."

"It's a nice day here, no snow."

"I have a meeting and can't look at my phone for now. If you need anything, call me."

"I have to have dinner with my partners tonight. How annoying."

"You should like the food here. I'll take you with me next time."

"Back to the hotel, did you sleep?"

The latest message was five minutes ago: "I'm going to take a shower, good night."

Song Youning moved his fingers and sent a message.

Song Youning: Look (whistle)

After a few minutes, the other party replied with a "?"

Song Youning smiled and tapped the screen with her slender fingers.

Song Youning: Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person.

This time he responded quickly.

Ji Siyun: Then tell me who you want to send it to!
